i can get that, but people trying to run 4090's on 750 watt psu's with extra cables, yeah id rather wait that possibly frying something.

remember kiddies if the magic smoke escapes its all over.

if my 750W psu can't handle a 4090 alls that happens ime is the pc won't boot or shuts down. i've ran lower power psu's on power hungry gpu's before.
 
Id say a 1000w PSU should be adequate, I'm running a 3090 Strix with a 520w bios and an overclocked i9-10900k (>300w) and most i have ever seen it draw from the wall in 2 years of gaming on it is 800W but mostly sits around the 600-650w range depending what I'm doing... this isn't accounting for any transient spikes though but by all accounts this is much tighter on the 40 series so will have to see how things go. PSU wise I'm using a Corsair HX1200i but those who are on 850w may be ok .
 
Im hoping AMD take a big swing at Nvidia, go after their market share with a good GPU at a good price. It doesnt need to be the heavyweight champ, just something to give them a fight and be reasonably priced, ie a 4080 grade card, for £700 or so, really pull the rug from under nvidia and force them to either sit in their own excrement and live with it, or be forced to awkwardly backtrack towards competitive pricing and be shown up for the price gougers we know they are.

If AMD offer something positive, then i'll go that direction. I've gone red more often than green over the years, in fact ive had as many Matrox & 3DFX cards in my gaming PC as i have nvidia, i think!
If AMD decide to marginally undercut them, and maximise profits, then i'll reluctantly get an 4090FE and the EK water block. Day 1 or whenever its in stock. AIB has the extra cost and/or delay waiting for a block, and im not sure when i'll build the loop so dont want to buy a card with it pre-fitted.

I've skipped the last 2 generations and gone from 1080pUW to bloomin 1440p super ultrawide or whatever it calls itself. I need something that can push those pixels and can last me a good while. Im not into regular upgrades (prefer 3-5yr cycle), and this release seems pretty clear that Nvidia arent into generational upgrades either! How a 3000 series owner is supposed to get behind this launch is laughable. They've decided they want to shoot for the stars with a real heavy-hitter following a global pandemic, ongoing component shortages, a market thats just recently paid 2x RRP for the last card, is in recession, and has an energy crisis going on. You know, a true goldilocks scenario! Muppets.
 
The poll results are surprising - over 75% forum users not buying 4000 series and only 2% interested in a 4080. Nvidia might come a cropper on this one

I guess most people have 3070+ already on this forum or AMD equivalent and with the current state of gaming there's no reason to upgrade

I don't know whether they are stupid or whether they are doing this deliberately.

They have a surplus of 3000 series chips so they really want people to buy 3070's and 3080's, so that may well be why they have the 4070 and 4080 at such high prices. If that's true then they will wait until AMD releases something by which time they will hopefully have sold their backlog of 3000 series then they will reduce the price of the 4000 series. But by all accounts they have ordered too many 4000 series so they need to get those prices lower as some time or other. Either that or they truly are detached from reality and are just making a god-awful mess of all of this.
But, yeah, I will not be buying this generation. Either the price MUST come down or I will wait a few generations so I get a decent performance increase for my money.

I wouldn't read it like that. It's a minority that even pays attention to this stuff (to be on forums) on any level and out of the poll options you've got to think that for ADA only the 4090 really makes sense and a $1600 GPU was only ever going to get bought by a handful of people in the first place.

I am not sure. Rumours about new products tend to spread pretty fast. If people are saying the product is way over-priced, and they all seem to be saying that, then it would not surprise me if the sales do not meet NVIDIA's expectations.

The card I wanted was £1700 at ocuk.
It's now £2056 :( The pound has gone up so I am hope they bring the price back down.

I made a post over a week ago, stating no prices were final and total guesstimates and just there for place holders, the prices were not displayed for this reason. As some guesses were miles out, like Asus cards for example, others were not so far out but the pound moving around was creating to many issues.

The only stock landed so far is Inno3D now, so its pricing is now firm at £1779 and £1879 for their X3 And X3 iChill. Unless we get stock land at 1.14/1.15 we won't be hitting £1700 or lower and stock is due to land this week on other brands. We have small amount of Gigabyte in stock but there is a huge amount due this week once that lands will have a more firm idea of what they will be priced at.
